Homunculus
|
Both anime follow the same protagonist pattern: middle-aged man at top of his career suddenly having his world turned upside down for reasons they cannot comprehend. Then there is a strong component of introspection and personal journey with touches of insanity.
They both present an engaging story even though Homunculus tends to be more on the borderline disturbing side, with a lot of wtf moments.
Lastly, the drawings and tables are brilliant for both manga and somewhat feel similar, so tuck in and enjoy the ride

If you like intricate hard magic systems, Atelier is a good one, it's more Harry Potter and less gore-murdery, but it does also revolve around a group of wizards and in both worlds there's a drastic difference between maigc and non-magic users.
Dorohedro is much more intense and elaborate, although the magic system is more limited it is indeed very interesting.

Harahara-sensei

If what hooks you in is the yakuza lifestyle, strangely endearing yet horrifying bastards doing unhinged yet badass stuff, complex and emotional character psychology with backstories and a cinematic feeling to its flow and composition… Well, they both have those in common. Do you like action? Mystery mixed in with thriller? Give it a shot.
Harahara Sensei is (sadly) not a romance so don’t go in with that expectation, but it does center around two characters which, yes, are very shippable. In both mangas, everybody’s pretty morally ambiguous, to say the least, and it’s part of the appeal even if you do root for the main characters.

Shindou

A story about a boy and a girl with an odd personal/professional relationship born from a hyper fixation with something. In the case of Cross Manage it's lacrosse, rather than Shindou's piano. The story follows our two protagonists through their developing relationship using their fixation as a conduit, without downplaying the element and making it feel like a contrived excuse for these characters to interact. Cross manage is a more 'conventional' manga than Shindou at first glance, but they're both very good.

Both of their style of humor might be considered too immature and/or sexually-oriented for some though.

Both stories tell a tale of a friend group, consisting of three individuals, who wish to seek for freedom behind the walls, where they're being kept in.
In both stories, "monsters" try to kill the last humans to eat them.
Although "Attack on Titan" consists of darker themes with the protagonist turning into an antihero and more Gore, which isn't the main focus of TPN, the theme of the antihero is being kept alive to an extend within Norman, who tries to mercilessly slaughter the "monsters" to guarantee future survival. In both stories, the protagonists eventually realizer that they aren't the only survivors of humanity, but merely an isolated group.
Overall, "Attack on Titan" is much darker, although TPN also integrates dark themes, which include implied suicide/suicidal thinking, depression and the dark reality that all happy periods one day have to end

...then you might like
Dementia 21
|
Franken Fran and Dementia 21 both are episodic dark comedies with a mostly innocent and well-meaning main protagonist intent on helping others. Both often rely on taking absurd premises to their logical conclusion, or blow-up realistic ones to absurd proportions, with little continuity between chapters. Dementia 21 is much less violent or explicit, and more avant-garde.
